One of my unforgettable experience while in College ROTC was during our "FINALS" when we all went up to TANAY, RIZAL for a 3 day training, I forgot what camp it was though. We all took our turns firing an M16 rifle, 3 shots each, in a shooting range. We were shooting at plastic bags with water on it. Glad i was able to hit the target ;)

i was exempted from CAT during high school... sa ROTC lang hindi... anyway...

i took up ROTC during the heyday of the Mark Chua case, so laging magulo ang ROTC namin, andun yung mga protestors (Dag-dag-ba-ya-rin!! R-O-T-C-bu-wa-gin!!) at yung mga MP na halos magkandarapa sa pagharang sa mga protestors... kaya madalas na walang ginagawa ang mga cadets... lalo yung company namin, na lagi na lang nakaupo sa lilim habang nang-iinggit ng ibang cadets na laging may ginagawa... tamad kasi yung company commander namin eh... hehe :evil:

Naging MP Commander ako ng CAT namen, ang saya dahil atlast naka-ganti rin ako sa mga ginawa samen nuon, nakapagpa-push up ako ng mga MP juniors at MP seniors hehehe.

 

Sarap pa maging MP dahil kahit ma-late ok lang kc kme yung nagbabantay dun sa gate kami yung kumukumpis ng mga ID ng mga late na estudyante :P

model platoon member ako noong CAT while sa ROTC/CMT di ako pumapasok kasi kakilala ni Dad yung pinaka-head so nilakad na lang na i will pass without having to attend ROTC every sunday, nagtataka nga yung mga classmates ko dahil hindi ako pumapasok pero sabi ko pina-deferred ko lang ROTC ko, kasi kahiya din baka sabihin nila puwede pala lakarin at baka magpalakad din sila....

CAT.

 

Always took off with a friend to play tennis at the first available moment. We'd face the Dean of Discipline day next and profess our innocence, saying we were at the clinic resting due to fatigue from extreme heat.

 

ROTC MS11.

 

They had the entire battalion strip down to tees. Sh*t, I couldn't find mine earlier, suspecting my roommate wore it, and so just put on a kamiseta. I stood out in a sea of white like a sore thumb. I think there were four or five screaming officers who descended on and made me drop and do fifty immediately for wearing non-regulation uniform. Kakahiya.

 

MS12.

 

Raked in fallen leaves wearing full combat fatigues for what must've been a hundred meters all around the headquarters during whole day make-up classes (on a Monday, that is.)

CAT

 

Muntik na akong bumagsak kasi ayaw kong pagupit ng 2 x 3. Buti na lang at marami kami at nangyari na yung father ng isang classmate namin ay lawyer (judge pa). Nagprotesta kami lead by the judge/lawyer and walang nagawa yung commandant ng school namin. Hindi raw nakukuha sa buhok ang discipline.

 

ROTC/CMT 11

 

Nagpa-exempt ako due to bronchial asthma and got a recommendation from the UP Infirmary, kaya lang kailangan daw pa ring pumasok hanggat hindi nakukuha yung green card, e hindi chato (2 x 3) buhok ko kundi barber's cut lang, hinawakan nung officer yung buhok ko na medyo sabunot at pilit na magpagupit daw ako. Nagalit ako and tinabig ko hands nya para bitawan yung buhok ko. Nagalit din at pinapadrop ako ng 50 kasi hindi pa raw ako siguradong maeexempt, kailangan pa kasing pumunta sa Fort Bonifacio. Hindi ko sinunod at nag-walk-out ako. Well, hindi na ako pumasok and nakakuha ako ng green card.

 

Nakabawi ako nang meron silang presentation ng sponsor at nagkamali siyang kunin yung dati kong girlfriend. E, nagpaalam sa akin yung ex-gf ko (akala nya siguro ay kami pa rin, kasi nasa BA na siya) kung ok lang na maging sponsor. Inalam ko kung kailan tapos tinapatan ko ng date namin yung event. Nawalan siya ng sponsor. Ewan ko kung sinong naging sponsor niya. :P

Before, the CAT days, the high adventure camp in tanay, rizal... i was an AP(Air Police) before and only of the very few straight guys in our company... most our gays... the officers punished us because the gays are very noisy.... the punishment was they brought us infront of the officers headquarters and they instructed us to dance and do some exercise in briefs... luckily i was wearing one... no boxers allowed so the officers let those wearing boxers remove so they did the punishment in the nude... some even didnt have any briefs or boxers... good thing it was 2am that other companies can't see us but were shivering because it was very cold... it was a fun experience... :cool: :cool: :cool:

 

ROTC, it really sucks... waste of time... :thumbsdownsmiley: :thumbsdownsmiley: :thumbsdownsmiley:

I remember my CAT days in 1985. It was the summer of SY 84-85. I decided to enroll in advanced CAT class to become a junior officer. As part of completing the class, we were required to join a 3 day-2night camp out. My squadmates were bunked on a makeshift tent trying to prepare supper. I was assigned to cook a can of sardines. I took our cooking gear and proceeded to a spot about 5 meters away from our tent. The damn place was dark. I can't see a thing, I didnot notice the rock in front when I tripped over. Wham, out flew our can of Ligo! It landed on its side half a meter away, on the sand! I immediately righted myself, took the can of sardines and pushed the spilled contents inside. I had no choice, that was our last can of sardines! I still cooked it though! I served the cooked sardines on our tent. My squad buddy Edwin told me, "Parang may buhangin itong sardinas?" I just said, "Kala mo lang yun, paminta yan!" I got away with it, probably because thay fell for my explanation or we were very hungry that time! I did not forget that day!

COCC

 

Ahhhh... those were the days. Ok yung mga kasama ko sa COCC. 2 of my fellow COCCs had a fist fight cuz of a girl COCC hehehe.

Muntik nga namin binugbog yung isa kasi sakasakan ng yabang. Hinihitnay lang namin yung commander namin gumawa ng 1st move dahil na bad trip din sya sa gago.

 

CAT

 

Platoon leader ako. I handled the best platoon, the Alpha (all guys) platoon.

 

Nagkaroon ng competition sa 3 platoon (Alpha, Beta, the all-girls platoon; and MPs). Panalo kami :D :cool:

 

Funny thing, the saber i was using was better looking than our corps commander's & ourcommandant's. Napakabulok tignan yung sa kanila.

 

ROTC

 

1 time, karamihan sa amin nag cut. Tumambay lang kami sa Galleria.

 

During our last semester, we went somewhere south (I forgot the exact province) for some environment thingee. We were planting seeds & my friends saw thing big frog & buried it. After a while, the took pity on it & "excavated the grave." Seeing the frog, they shouted "Hey, hey. Are you OK?" w/c we learned from First Aid training the previous semester. 2 foreign students (from the International School, i'm guessing) saw the entire thing & I heard 1 of the say "I don't even wanna know what's going on."

hmm.. isa sa mga pinakanakakatwang moment para sa akin ung 3 times akong napagalitan nung cat namin. for some reason, off ako ng hapon na yun... laging delayed ung ginagwa ko. kunaari turn left.. nakaharap na lahat sa left, ako hindi pa.. ung ganoon. mga 3 commands ganoon ako.

 

 

nasa harap pa naman ako kaya hayun.. 50 pumpings ako ng di oras

 

naalala ko na rin ung time na nabasted ung commandant namin. medyo magulo ung batch namin sa quadrangle. nung pinaform nya na kami, medyo mabagal ang lahat kasi akala namin wala lang e.

 

HALA...

 

umakyat ng stage ung commandant namin. may upuan doon kasi may programme kanina. hinagis ung upuan galing stage papunta sa baba. he didnt mean to hurt anyone just to grab our attention. that really got our attention.

CAT - Hindi ko rin malilimutan yung initiation namen para maging MP, grabe hirap, sa init ng araw kung anu-anu pinagawa samen, pinagulong sa basketball court, push-up, tapos sinigaw-sigawan. Tapos habang blindfolded may pinasipsip samin na nasa plastic with straw. Plema daw nila yon pero di ako naniwala, eggyolk yata yon. Nandaya ako hindi talaga ako sumipsip nag pretend lang ako tapus kunwari inubo-ubo pako :D
